Please, Dick Cheney, go away! This is getting ridiculous.

Somebody needs to tell him to get the hell out of the way. Al Gore didn’t spend the first 100 days of Bush’s presidency criticizing every move that the new president made. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.

President Barack Obama’s expansion of the federal government into the financial sector is likely to have “devastating” effects in the long term, former Vice President Dick Cheney said in his latest salvo directed at the new White House administration.

In an interview on Fox News — portions of which aired Tuesday night — the former vice president said he is “very concerned” about where the Obama administration is taking the country economically.

“I worry very much that we’re in a situation now where there doesn’t appear to be any limitation whatsoever in terms of the spending commitments that this administration wants to make,” he said. “Vast expansion in terms of the deficit, but it also says a lot about what they intend for the role of government in this society.”

On second thought, maybe we should listen to Cheney. He knows a thing or two about destroying an economy.

Seriously, how ironic is it that Cheney of all people is attacking Obama? Mr. Cheney, maybe you weren’t aware of this, but YOUR administration left Obama this massive turd sandwich. Even if Obama IS expanding government to a frightening size, he’s doing it because of your disastrous 8 years in power. At the very, very least you should shut up and let others criticize him.
